More Details
Arita Ware
Arita ware, Japan’s first porcelain, originated in the early 17th century in the town of Arita, Saga Prefecture. Using pure porcelain stone sourced from the mountains of Amakusa, artisans created brilliantly white ceramics that quickly became celebrated for their beauty and strength. During the Edo period, Arita grew into a major center of porcelain production, with its works exported to Europe through the port of Imari, where they captivated collectors and royal courts alike. Today, Arita ware continues to embody the harmony of artistry and function, bringing timeless elegance to modern dining around the world.
Tea Sets
Artisan-crafted Japanese tea sets comprise a teapot and coordinating handleless cups. Pots come in different sizes and shapes, from side-handled kyusu for everyday brewing to larger dobin for sharing. Meanwhile, cup shapes and materials vary by tea type and season: Porcelain for refinement, regional clay for depth, cast iron for warmth, and glass for summertime.
